Muahaha. Have you delved into customs yet? Because that is where that is going to be found.
Stick way to be a boss! Glad you stayed relatively safe and didn't lose any items. I have put some stuff in my mouth hotter than pepper spray and also gotten stuff in my eyes. Completely brutal. Just for future reference, using Milk to rinse your eyes will be far more effective than water
The key is to get a group of guys that you know will stay dedicated, and just tough out the first few years, with a coach that will actually stick around for the terrible level of play that will happen over said first few years lol
Aw...missed the chance to get another one.Poo!
Oh yeah... Well, you guys remember when I finally got my new camera? Well, I live in Queens, and work in Manhattan. I got it delivered to my office since it required a signature, and there's always someone there to sign for it. My wife and I are usually not home this time of year because of work and school. So, it was signed for by my coworker/buddy, and safely left in my desk. I got it the next day, and took it home. Now, for some reason, Sony and the dealers ship the camera in a brown cardboard box that says "Sony VG30" on it. Great... I'm astonished that it was delivered untouched, but FedEx is usually very good about deliveries anyway so I wasn't too bent out of shape about it.
I take a subway train to a bus to get home, takes about an hour. I got off the train no problem, got on the bus. The bus ride is really short, maybe about 5-8 minutes depending on traffic. I live a pretty nice area of Queens also, the area of Flushing (yeah, flushing) that borders an area called Fresh Meadows. It's not upscale, but pretty nice. I'm 4 minutes from my school Queens College, a very good uni, and the area is primarily Jewish.
I got off my bus, have my headphones, and I'm walking down the street that turns the corner to my building. Out of nowhere (of course) some kid came running up behind me and grabbed my camera box that I was carrying under my arm. Startled, I grabbed his shirt sleeve, and he struggles to get away. He starts hitting my arm, and I reach into my back pocket and pull out my pepper spray. I spray him the face pretty good, I let a lot of it go. Unfortunately, there was wind, and some of the spray kicked back into my face. Not a lot, but it still got me. The kid dropped the box, and fell over screaming. He started to get up and tried to run, and I saw my box on the ground and fumbled to pick it up. I kind of lost track of the kid by the time I managed to pick up the box, but I couldn't see him anymore. I turned the corner and got to my building, and got home.
Spent about half an hour washing my face off in the sink, it was pretty nasty. I can't imagine how the kid felt if a little spray felt like that. The camera was fine, box was unharmed, and apart from some swelling, my eyes were ok.
So, there ya go.
